Klappentext

Is This God's Country? presents an exploration by noted philosopher Robert Audi on the tensions between church and state in the democratic United States. He investigates how and why America separates church and state, and whether this separation benefits both religious and secular citizens. Audi then proposes standards for discussing and resolving church-state issues in education, business, and medicine, using a multitude of examples. He addresses the question whether America can be Christian--or religious at all--in a way that still integrates religious liberty with democratic law-making, and expands the common ground we would need in order to overcome the cultural fragmentation that besets America.
